THE weather over the last few days have been glorious, and it's set to get even hotter - until the weekend.

Friday is set to be one of the hottest on record with weatherman Derek Broadway predicting temperatures of around 30 degrees in parts of Gwent.

The Met Office isn't predicting temperatures to be that high, but is saying that it will be around 25 degrees in parts of Gwent.

However, despite temperatures remaining fairly high, rain is likely to come along and spoil the summer mood.

On Saturday, June 18, it is likely that the sun may continue to shine, but there is a chance of rain from the morning all the way through to the night.

Sunday is set to be even worse, with temperatures dropping further to around 17 degrees and an even greater chance of rain.

For most of Gwent, there is a greater chance of rain on Sunday morning.

It is also likely to be cloudy throughout Sunday, with little chance of the sun breaking through as it has done so far this week.
